Why work flexibly?

The advantages are numerous– your work fits with other commitments, frees up time and long term, gives you a better work life balance.

It is more than simply working part time, and does not have to mean a serious cut in wages. Our goal at Flexibility Matters is to find you the right job that allows you freedom but does not compromise your earning power.

The key is to be realistic. Think about your priorities. You may not get everything you want from an employer, but properly considered, you should be able to get everything you need.

What are your options?

The old model of working an 8 hour day and clocking off at 5pm is long gone. Many of us work flexibly to some extent. Making this integral to the way you work may require some adjustment, but the benefits are real and there are many different ways to organise your working hours.

We can help you work out the best pattern that suits your life and commitments.
